Hi I have created an image element from a byte like: myImage = Image.createImage(chartAsBytes, 0, chartAsBytes.length); nUIImageElement to\_add = new nUIImageElement(-1, myImage); The image’s size is originally 640x400. But when I create it, it only has 73x13, and I have not seen how to resize it. Do I have to create the image in some other way? Many thanks Javier ---

Hi Javier, That should work exactly as it is - Image.createImage performs no rescaling. What’s the image format, and (out of interest) what is the value of “chartAsBytes.length” - if it comes down as about 1KB or something, this would suggest you’re not actually being fed the 640x400 image you’re expecting. Regards, Nick. ---

Hi Nick, The image is a png, and I size of the array is 33889. Is there any way to store the image locally when running Phoney to see if the image is correct? (similar to when there is a problem when creating the image, I have seen that a file is created in the root folder of the project). Many thanks Javier ---

Is it possible to just pull down the PNG just via a web browser or something? If it’s the same filesize, it would suggest it’s the same content. Also, when you say you’re getting a 73x13 image, by the aspect ratio it sound like you’re not just getting some scaled version of what you were expecting? Nick. ---

Well, it is almost the same size (probably not a good sign). The saved image from browser has 33898 bytes, and the one from Phoney has 33889 bytes. If I try with other images, I am always missing 9 bytes. Does this mean that the http response where I get the image is missing something? Many thanks Javier ---

Hmmm, it doesn’t sound promising. Is it worth embedding the downloaded version into the app and then doing a runtime byte-for-byte comparison to the console of what you’re getting versus what you expect to try and see where the differences are occurring? We’ve not seen any arbitrary 9-byte loss of data transmissions anywhere else, Nick. ---

I’ll give that a try… But, If I directly use an HttpConnection instead of the HttpConnectionHandler, then I get the expected size and the image is shown correctly. The only difference I can see between the two is that HttpConnectionHandler has a header “Connection: close” (if I set PARAM\_MD\_HTTPCONNECTION\_DOWNLOAD\_IN\_CHUNKS to true I get an exception) and HttpConnection has “Connection: keep-alive”.

Hi Javier, Do you have a test URL we can try against here to replicate this issue? Regards, Nick. ---
